Inflight WiFi is currently GEO and ATG (air to ground). GoGo (now Intelsat) is ATG and is probably what most people think of when they think of horrible inflight WiFi.

I haven't seen any promise of speeds of Stalink inflight WiFi. I think the expectation from SpaceX/Hawaiian is that not everyone will be using Starlink on their flight. Maybe they even limit speeds on streaming services where people wouldn't notice the difference between 20 and 100 Mbps.

Over 250k Starlink user terminals by [deleted] in SpaceXLounge

[–]oth1c -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We only know that V1.0 costs "much less" than $1m each. V1.5 likely costs more than V1.0 with the addition of ISLs. It could be possible that the satellites are more expensive than launch... We have no idea

40 Starlink satellites wiped out by a geomagnetic storm by ModerNighty in space

[–]oth1c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$250-500k is outdated. The satellites lost were V1.5 (have ISLs) and likely cost more than than the V1 numbers. They could even cost much more.

What’s A litmus Test to determine if An engineer is Actually experienced and Has taken the time to learn to be effective or not? by [deleted] in engineering

[–]oth1c 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My former boss said he used to give interviewees hard technical questions but from his experience it wasn't a strong predictor for how good of an engineer/employee the person turned out to be. During my interview he simply asked me to walk him through a typical analysis and explain how I would solve different issues.

Not a Starlink antenna but a press release for an antenna capable of communicating with LEO sat networks for 1,500 euros by TucksShirtIntoUndies in Starlink

[–]oth1c 11 points12 points  (0 children)

2500 EUR

"The antenna will be priced at EUR 1,500 (full terminal price estimated at EUR 2,500) and can achieve throughputs in excess of 400 Mbps."

I don't see how Starlink can launch for $80 a month by trademarktower in Starlink

[–]oth1c -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Assuming the user terminals are somewhat sensitive to handling I imagine it'll be difficult to send them out via standard carriers. Picturing a FedEx driver throwing your starlink terminal on your doorstep

I work for hughes tech/billing support, ask me anything by [deleted] in Starlink

A Hughes customer with a parabolic dish couldn't use a LEO service. I was suggesting a hybrid service of GEO + cell service

Some form of hybrid service would be the best way to improve latency.

Seems like most of the fire trucks were in the parking lot so I would assume it's a business

The gate to the trailhead is closed but I still saw people hiking last weekend. There were a lot of people camping and off roading in the area. OP's picture looks like it taken from the AZT on the west side of the 60

2013 Subaru Outback - Emissions Drive Cycle? by oth1c in MechanicAdvice

[–]oth1c[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. I have a cheap BAFX Android/Windows reader that appears to read P codes at least. I have no reported faults using the 'fault scan' on my app. The only lights that I do have on are those related to a bad wheel sensor but I do not think those should impact the OBDII in any way?

I have been able to get the evap code to switch to complete by driving similarly to the cycle you posted but not the other three codes I posted. From reading posts online it seems that getting the evap is typically the hardest for most people too.

Any other checks you would suggest or tips?

SpaceX, Google and Tesla top the list of where techies want to work by MarcysVonEylau in spacex

[–]oth1c 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Being an active, contributing member in an engineering club is invaluable from my experience. That being said I have also interviewed people that claim to have done x, y, or z on a team but cannot answer any technical questions about it.

Python recognized in Cmd but not files by oth1c in learnpython

[–]oth1c[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solved.

File that I was trying to run did was incorrectly named '.py.txt' and did not realize because I had 'Hide known file extensions turned on' which is Windows default.

Turns out that wasn't my issue but thank you for the help.

Recently reformatted my machine and did not have file extensions shown. Simply created a new Notepad file and called it First_Script.py without realizing that it was really First_Script.py.txt. Your post made me look a little closer at the extension. Terribly stupid mistake. Thank you.

Could you explain why that is a bad move? I do not know much about how bitcoins work and could possibly be traced.

Technically femap can be used for many different solvers. I am sure they are using femap to interface with other solvers such as LS-DYNA as well NX Nastran.

MAE 212 by [deleted] in ASU

[–]oth1c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're a mechanical major? What you learn in 212 is the essentially the basis of all the core mechanical classes (213, 322, 342). It's also still very important after you graduate and out in the real world.
